What we have learned today is that these morons cannot be in front of a camera for longer than 50 seconds without saying something monumentally stupid.

"We were okay with it as long as we thought you guys wouldn't see the video."
"But, technically, it was the elevator rail that knocked her out!!!"

I actually thought that "tost" and "Qcumber" were quite clever.
Supposedly the reason they gave for leniency was that Rice had been a boy scout up to this point, at least in their eyes. Clean record, lots of charity work, respected all around, one of the faces of the franchise/league. Peter King himself said in an interview that any other player would have gotten 4+ games, but…
"It's only domestic violence if she remembers it"
I think it's highly likely that the change in policy was precipitated by knowing this video had been obtained by a media source, and would be leaked.

How about "disastrophe?"
Apocalyptofuck?
I also like "catastrofuck."
"Exculpatory? Listen, firstly of all, they are still married. And B, I just don't see how you can see her as culpatory."
Oh you poor thing. What's it like having such limited brain capacity as to believe just because you think something is true, that doesn't make it true?
Oh, honey. No.
I don't think you understand how feminism works.
Well that's just blatantly untrue.
um if someone punches their life partner in the face and knocks them unconscious and then drags them out of an elevator, it's fucked the fucked up.
Your intimate partner, who is significantly less physically powerful than you, open handed slaps you after you were clearly in their space during what appears to be an argument, and you respond by punching so hard *you knock them out*, you're an abusive asshole who pretty much deserves to lose your job.
It's cute that you think domestic violence can't happen between two same-sex partners and that if it does it's ok because they are the same gender.
